This September, Fratello will be adding a gordo vitola to its Arlequin line.
The new size measures 6 x 58 and gets a box press, and like the existing 5 1/2 x 52 Robusto and 6 1/2 x 54 toro, it uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, Ecuadorian Habano binder, and fillers from Peru and Nicaragua. It is made at Fabrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua in EstelÃ.
The Arlequin Gordo has an MSRP of $11 per cigar and will be offered in 20-count boxes. It will be shown off at the upcoming PCA Convention & Trade Show, which runs from July 10-13.
